    Traces Of Life

There are traces of life
that are etched on our faces.
Each line and each crease
tell of other times and places.

Each time we loved
and each time we sighed.
Each time we laughed
and each time we cried.

The frown lines on our faces
tell a story of hurt and pain.
They tell of times when
the sun couldn't shine for the rain.

And what of all those
beautiful laugh lines?
They tell of happiness, love,
laughter and good times.

Yes, there are traces of life
that we wear as we age.
Like reading a good book,
each line like turning a new page

The traces tell the story of all
we've thought, felt, and said.
They tell the story of who we are,
and the kind of life that we have led.
